Despre In a Dark Wood carte

A story of love and grief. ‘I became a widower and a father on the same day’ says Joseph Luzzi. His book tells how Dante’s ‘The Divine Comedy’ helped him to endure his grief, raise their infant daughter, and rediscover love.

Where do we turn when we lose everything?

In 2007, Joseph Luzzi’s wife Katherine was eight-and-a-half
months pregnant when she was involved in a fatal car accident.
Their daughter, Isabel, was delivered by emergency C-section
and somehow survived, even while her mother could not. In
the days when his life changed irrevocably and the years of heartache that followed, Luzzi turned to a man who had been
an unassuming part of his life since college: Dante.

A memoir of grief and healing divided into three parts, the book trace’s Luzzi’s journey through Dante’s ‘The Divine Comedy’
and his journey through a world without Katherine. The first part, “The Underworld,” follows Luzzi’s descent into grief and his examination of Dante’s accounts of early exile. In the second, “Purgatorio”, Luzzi explores how Dante found the will to carry on and how he himself began to find hidden opportunities in everyday life. The last part is called “Squaring the Circle,”
referring to Dante’s metaphor for coming face-to-face
with God and the mysteries of love; in it, Luzzi shares his gratitude towards family members who set aside their lives in his time of need, as well as his experience of meeting the woman who would become his wife and mother to his daughter.

Luzzi tells his story of personal loss and digs deeper into Dante almost simultaneously, allowing the poet to guide his thinking and forging connections between life in the Inferno and the long life of grief. His memoir is both a personal odyssey and a reminder of the power of great literature in the darkest of times.
